I had the same problem with this guy, Mr. Chunker. Tried all sorts of straps but they all felt like they added to the chunkiness.
Until I finally broke down and got a Eulit perlon. I had avoided perlon like the plague because my early experience (with a cheap one) found them too scratchy. But, this particular watch was issued on a perlon. Tried even buying vintage perlon but still didnt have the cloth feel.
Eulit lives up to its rep. Not cloth like (brand new) but, man, it is comfortable. Definitely not cheap feeling or looking. And doesnt have the extra strap overhang, like NATOs
